visual-web-developer

I am trying to write a web application using ASP.NET MVC . I prefer C# as the programming language. Which IDE is better to use for this purpose? Visual Studio or Visual Web Developer ? What are the features of the IDEs? What are the benefits of using one over the other? Thanks in advance. As far as I understand, Visual Web Developer (VWD) is simply a free version of the Visual Studio components necessary to develop web based solutions. Here is a list of features missing from VWD that you get in a Professional edition of Visual Studio 2008 (VS2008). In short, VWD Express 2005 is Not Extensibile

I am having some trouble setting up my vwd 2010 environment to run under my local iis 7.5 instead of iis express. Whenever I go to the project properties and select the 'web' tab, I choose under Servers, 'Local iis web server'. It automatically puts in the Project URL http://localhost/myprojectname . I click Create Virtual Directory and it comes up with this warning,,, 'Unable to create the virtual directory. The site ofr the url http://localhost/myprojectname exists on both the local IIS Web server and the IIS Express web server. You need to edit the 'c:\Users\Mike\Documents\iisexpress\config

I like the way this website made their rings glow and pulse out and would like to know how they did it. I can make something similar but I'm not very good. So this is all I was able to figure out but it doesn't seem to work. CSS: glowycircleouter.blue .glow4 { box-shadow: 0 0 25px #287ec6; } .glowycircleouter .glow4 { -webkit-animation: glowyglow 3s 2250ms infinite; -moz-animation: glowyglow 3s 2250ms infinite; -ms-animation: glowyglow 3s 2250ms infinite; -o-animation: glowyglow 3s 2250ms infinite; animation: glowyglow 3s 2250ms infinite; animation-name: glowyglow; animation-duration: 3s;

I'm working on a page using <canvas> , which is a HTML5 tag, in Visual Web Developer Express Edition 2008, and the validator in the HTML editor is telling me it's an invalid tag. That's because it's set to validate against XHTML 1.0 Transitional. I'd prefer for it to not do that and tell me what's valid or invalid based on the HTML5 doctype, but I can't find anywhere in the preferences that suggests this would be possible. Is there a way to tell Visual Studio to validate against HTML5, or add a new spec reference manually? I'd prefer not to have to go in and add tags manually, which appears to

Background-info: I'm using Microsoft Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. Info about my (lack of) experience: the problem occured within the first tutorial that I'm trying to work through. Some additional-info: I'm comfortable with C#, Postgres, Rails (so MVC & Web-apps are not new to me) I have no experience with ASP.NET or SQL Server Problem Description: I'm trying to following exactly the steps from the "Intro to ASP.NET MVC 3" -tutorial and I'm running into a problem at the first step from part 5 - Adding the MoviesController: When I'm trying to add the "MoviesController" with the exact

I have installed MS Visual Web Developer 2010 which includes iisexpress. Before this, I had installed xampp server for my php applications. I would like to know how can I stop iis in order to be able to start xampp? It appears that they use the same port. I guess those could be changed, but I do not want to interfere with other programs, and more than that I think this should be simpler. Thank's! Closing IIS Express By default Visual Studio places the IISExpress icon in your system tray at the lower right hand side of your screen, by the clock. You can right click it and choose exit. If you
